Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom Reverse Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom Reverse Zebra Pickup

The SH-5 Duncan Custom is a high-output bridge humbucker built for aggressive players and heavy gain rigs. Its wax-potted construction keeps noise floor clean even under extreme amplification, making it a trusted choice for metal, hard rock, and modern styles that demand articulate attack and controlled sustain on stage.

Tone & Output Character

This pickup delivers high output with a 14.1K ohms DCR that balances aggressive response with note definition across all strings. The ceramic magnet provides the brightness and snap you need to cut through dense mixes, while wax-potting eliminates microphonic feedback under high-gain conditions.

Construction & Compatibility

Built as a standard 6-string humbucker with 4-conductor wiring for flexible coil-splitting or series/parallel wiring schemes. The 49mm string spacing and uncovered design fit standard bridge routes, and its Reverse Zebra finish adds visual distinction while maintaining full electromagnetic performance for live reliability.
